Thanks, I've only tried 10mm plywood with 2 passes. I think it would go thicker though and will try. I mainly cut acrylic at the moment. The higher you go in tube power makes engraving harder as the minimum you can run the tube at is about 10% this means that eventuality you exceed the speed/accuracy of the steppers and the time it takes to pulse the tube on and off.
That thing is a beast! Well done, sir. That bed is massive.
Thanks I'm pleased with it. 👍
Greattt job
very nice!!! sana all!
Thank you!... "LaserDave"? 😜
Haha I still plasma cut more than laser cut but that could change 😊
Nice!
Are there any plans to repeat what you have accomplished with this build? Thanks
No plans at the moments, in fact this machine has exceeded expectations. If I did it again I would change some things for sure.
Great job. Nice size. What is the thickest material can you cut (ply wood)? Would you choose a higher power laser tube?
